Question

Is Temecula, California a nice place to live?

Answer 1

Even though I was born and raised in California, I am not that familiar with Temecula. However, I know a few people who moved there. It seems like a safe enough place and I think there is a lot of building going on there. It's kind of considered "out of the way." It's not like the middle of Orange County with bustling businesses, etc.

This is the thing I learned: You really need good relationships around you to enjoy a place. You'll find that if you have good friends and family and a decent job in a fairly safe area, you will enjoy it.

California weather can't be beat.

Answer 2

I've never lived there but have driven through several times. And for the most part it has  somewhat of a small town feel to it. Didn't really notice any graffiti or gang activity, but I've heard thee is a presence of the latter.  

Brand new suburbs are growing all over the place, but it still has a "out there in the sticks" reputation. I know that allot of people from San Diego have been buying homes out there. I guess Temecula is to San Diego what Riverside is to Los Angeles.
